Following the program, Lewis and Finan will sign copies of their most recent books. Mr. Lewis' book, Freedom for the Thought We Hate, has been hailed as "a stirring account of America's evolving idea of liberty" by Publisher's Weekly. A columnist for the New York Times op-ed page from 1969 through 2001, Mr. Lewis has been the James Madison Visiting Professor at Columbia University since 1983. His previous books are Gideon's Trumpet, Portrait of a Decade and Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment.

Mr. Finan's latest book, From the Palmer Raids to the PATRIOT Act: A History of the Fight for Free Speech in America, was highly praised by critics. Library Journal said it "[c]ould be the definitive study of a perpetually complex, contentious issue." Both books will be sold courtesy of Joseph Fox Bookshop.
